Oh...how I can relate to this thread! You'd think Davros & I attend the same congregation! Aside from the long repetitive prayers...there's those elders and ministerial servants who repeatedly mention 'Jehovah' over and over and over again. The most I've counted someone saying 'Jehovah' in a prayer was 15 times.

Midweek Meeting looooooooong prayers.
by Davros inone thing that aggravates me is long concluding prayers, especially at the midweek meeting.
you work all day, rush home, grab a quick bite, dress up in meeting clothes.
then, go to the meeting.

Just tell that snoopy knucklehead elder you're in the middle of switching carriers but that the number will remain the same, then ask:..."and by the way why do you need that information in the first place?'

Ever wonder what the 'spiritual shelf life' is of a reinstated disfellowshipped Jehovah's Witness? In other words...how long does a reinstated JW remain in good standing before he/she start their fade...again? Not very long according to this CO?
'The experience does not need to be a recent one. However, please only submit experiences of those who are still doing well spiritually."'🤣🤣🤣
I must say...this letter contains a world of gems!
Some of these letters really give us a peek of what little is in the minds of this cult's COs!🤣
This CO...like most COs is a birdbrain!

Is this an individual CO acting independently of 'Mother' in orchestrating these sham interviews of reinstated wrongdoers to coerce them to express appreciation for the disfellowshipping/shunning policy. No these orders have come from the top, as this CO says:
"Below is part of the letter I received from the branch:"
The GB leaders are soo desperate to put a positive spin on this horrid doctrine...they're scraping the bottom of the barrel-as the saying goes!

This is in part the request from circuit oversees to elders in the April 16th, 2020 letter regarding reinstated disfellowshipped individuals (What an abomination this letter is!):
Dear Brothers,
All circuit oversees have been asked to submit names of one or two individuals who were disfellowshipped in the past but have returned and are doing well now. Below is part of the letter I received from the branch:
"Particularly, we would like to hear of those who openly express their confidence that the disfellowshipping arrangement is loving and that they have personally benefited from this discipline. Preferably, the experience should illustrate the points from the second, third and fourth paragraphs in the online article "Do Jehovah's Witnesses Shun Those Who Used To Belong To Their Religion"?...The experience does not need to be a recent one. However, please only submit experiences of those who are still doing well spiritually."There is no need to contact the persons you have in mind at this stage . If you can help with this I would ask that you respond urgently as I must send details before April 24th, 2020."
This letter is blatantly obvious of how desperate this organization is to put a positive spin on what is otherwise a very cruel, harsh and not to mention unscriptual doctrine!
What an abomination!

These instructions from COs to Elders regarding doctored-up experiences of reinstated individuals is evidence of the shenanigans and length the organization will go to stage interviews for Circuit Assembly, Regional Conventions and Broadcast parts in order to justify their harsh disfellowshipping & shunning doctrine.

E-MAIL Shepherding during Covid stay at home
by wannabefree inmy wife is getting regular emails from the cobe ... you know we have the truth, the world is in the dark, we're special, hang in there, read this encouraging watchtower ... blah blah blah ... just wondering if these are coordinated from org.. recent mass email example .... " .... an excellent watchtower article in the july 2020. it is entitled “be convinced that you have the truth”.
the scripture is from 2 tim 3:14. we are to continue in the things we have learned and be persuaded to believe.
reflect for a moment what appealed to you about the truth which drew you to jehovah.

Yep...I've got my share of elders wanting to invite themselves over for a 'zoom shepherding call'. Rather than be a benefit for the rank & file...it's meant mostly to keep the servant body busy. My continued reply to them: "Please...like I told so n so last time he called...don't call me, I'll call you!"

Has Anything Positive Come Out Of This Coronavirus Isolation For You?
by minimus ini guess you could make a case of more families being together although that might not be the best situation.
less cars and pollutants mean we can breathe better.
if you were ever uncomfortable in crowds, this could be good news.

Because of their being cooped-up at home...I will venture to say that JW elders, JW ministerial servants & other younger male JWs have positively contributed to the growth in hits to porn sites! Whether that's something positive...well who can say!🤣🤣🤣
